The review of this Book prepared by Ed Shoup




This was the first in the "Bio of a Space Tyrant" series.
In the first book, our hero, Hope Hubris, is just a kid.
He gets kicked around a lot as his family gets murdered,
raped, et. al. and he gets beaten up too. I guess this
is to make him angry so he kicks butt in the second book,
"Mercenary".
